Actually never mind I guess, it's obviously two separate entities in this case, and will be two different memberships, and I guess that ain't affected by this change

Hello,
How is this going to work in reality? People who are merging companies or converting companies (for example I'm moving from sole trader to BV), I can no longer make this move happen in RIPE
I'm now forced to keep my resources under me as a natural person instead of moving my resources where it belongs: to the BV
Billing wise I'm no longer able to use the VAT on my invoice for input VAT (voorbelasting), and the LIR membership belongs to me as a natural person so moving the expense into the BV becomes rather hard to justify. Effectively increasing the cost of being LIR quite a bit.
I can understand that there's certain restrictions, but preventing things like company mergers, when you don't allow updating LIR accounts to a new entity seems like an odd thing to do, especially considering that the manual work largely is caused by your own policy.
